Solid effort in this one. Siakam played like he had something to prove. Glad he was aggressive early and maintained that into the final quarter. He was still sloppy at times but its playoff basketball. That bank 3-point shot with no time left was just awesome stuff.
Boucher doesn't get much love and deserves it. Whenever he was on the court he made something happen positively. Was grabbing offensive rebounds. Was playing solid defense. Hustling hard. His energy can be contagious and wish Nurse trusted him more.
Thad finally had a great game. Some awesome passes to guys cutting.. and especially to Boucher. The chemistry between the two is really great. I don't believe Birch played in the second half.. and we stuck with Precious or went small. Nurse is learning.
Sucks about Fred, but Philly is a good matchup without him. His size can be a deterrent on defense... using the long boy line up seemed to work well against the 76ers. Really rattled Joel, and good to see us not over helping all the time. Philly killed us from behind the line, and I'm hoping that efficiency dips a bit when we go back to Philly.
Good to see Scottie get some time on the court. Good to see him check back in after hurting his ankle again. Kid is a warrior. He really helps Siakam a lot when he's on the court with him.
